The Queendom of Mikko is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning falcon population. The democratic population of 87 million Mikkoans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and International Aid. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Mikkoan economy, worth 2.28 trillion yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,196 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, surveillance cameras are banned, and all footpaths have tollbooths. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mikko's national animal is the falcon.
Mikko is ranked 257,774th in the world and 3,724th in Ambition for Largest Populations, with 87.0 million capita.
